    Where do I begin other than to say Wow! we had such an amazing experience. The food was outstanding. We tried all the different oysters. We had some soup we had some gumbo we had salad and best of all we had the baked Alaska. All were amazing! more than the food, I have to commend your server Chuck he was so amazing and made our experience extraordinary. He steered us in the right direction for food, while giving us a whole history lesson of Antoine’s from the beginning to the end of our meal with little snippets of history and he was probably one of the most charming waiters I have en counted in a very long time . He truly is an asset to your establishment❤️ There is a restaurant in Paris called La Tour D’Argent that I love that does the endearing post card with the number of the duck you ordered just like you do with the oysters! Love that, as well as the famous wine cellar! We so enjoyed the experience and cannot wait to come back on our next visit to NOLA!

    What a true Gem! The service, food and ambiance were amazing. We will definitely dine here again when we come visit. We had the arugula salad, the pork chop - which my husband, who travels a lot, said it was the best thick cut pork chop he'd every had. I don't have burgers often so I was looking forward to the wagyu burger, but they had literally changed the menu that day to add a short rib burger instead of the wagyu. Never had a short rib burger before but it was amazing! Grilled, tender and very flavorful. I also had the fries and they were great. We had the pot de creme for dessert - perfect! Flavor was amazing - not too sweet. Everything was exceptional - including the very knowledgeable and very welcoming host - Jemele (I apologize if I'm misspelling) and our server - Sammie J - Outstanding!!

    I had been to Brennen’s almost 50 years ago!!! My father told me to go to Brennens for breakfast and order the “Milk Punch.” And so coming again 50 years later Brennens did not disappoint . Everything about my past experience there came flushing back to me, only this time I appreciated being there even more. It was still so beautiful and the food was amazing. My husband had the Scottish egg dish and I had the Duck egg and Duck meat hash. Superb food and beautiful decor . Don’t miss the Brennens experience. Pictures to follow… we even came back the same day for happy hour cocktails.
